Benchmark Senior Living at Putnam Farm provides assisted living care that covers help with daily activities and extends to defined medical support. The residence accepts respite or other short-term stays, so families can arrange temporary care when needed. Diabetes management services are in place, including glucose monitoring and menu coordination, and licensed speech therapists visit the site to address communication or swallowing needs as ordered by a physician.
To support resident safety, every apartment and common area is linked to an emergency call system that routes alerts directly to staff. A comprehensive sprinkler system is installed throughout the building, and entry points are monitored to maintain a secured community. These measures place staff within easy reach around the clock and help reduce environmental risks.
Housing options range from studio and efficiency layouts to larger units, some of which feature in-unit washers and dryers, cable television hookups, window treatments, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Skynet technology, paired with an electronic medication administration record, aids accurate medication deliveries. Outdoor areas include gardens and walking paths, and pets are generally welcome in designated rooms, though not every apartment can accommodate an animal. Because floor plans vary, not all residences contain every feature mentioned.
The culinary team prepares three meals each day and can meet low-sodium, kosher, vegetarian, and gluten or other allergen-free requirements. Menus are coordinated with the nursing staff to align with diabetes care plans and other medical directives, and snacks are available between meals for added flexibility.
Amenities include an activity center that hosts arts and crafts sessions, club meetings, live entertainment, yoga classes, and scheduled health and wellness programs. Residents can also use the library and computer lounge for reading, internet access, and small group discussions, supporting both social and intellectual engagement.
